For the mountain people in the sub-cold zone, salt can kill everything in seconds. There are only two ways they want to obtain it, one is to find salt springs themselves, and the other is to trade.

Unlike people in desert areas, they can still find salt lakes in desert areas. In this humid area where rain is not much but evaporation is smaller, it is impossible to have salt lakes.

Salt stones are also rare, because they are too much water.

There are almost no salt springs, because the permafrost layer is too deep and the deep groundwater is almost impossible to flow out without melting throughout the year.

Or dig a deep pit in the hard frozen soil layer and find a salt mine. The latter is too difficult.

After all, most of the sub-cold residents can only rely on transactions to obtain salt.

The salt brought by Lin Lang is something that the old hunter has never seen and never heard of. The color is cute and the taste is pleasant. There is only salty, not a trace of bitterness.

Before his wrinkled face could melt, he nodded repeatedly and said, "I am willing to exchange twenty Hanshan stinging hair for this skin."

Hanshan Snake is a herbivorous animal with large curvaceous horns. It has a thick layer of hair and long velvets. Its horns are not hollow cuticles. Instead, it is a grid-like bone wrapped by thick cuticles, which is a very effective antipyretic drug.

It is even more effective than the Tibetan antelope horns on Earth.

But they usually live in rugged mountains and are difficult to hunt.

Lin Lang didn't expect that this ordinary old hunter had so many twenty skins. However, for leather, Lin Lang wanted more about their horns. It can be used to make a spiritual medicine, which can be used to suppress the rapid increase in body temperature after taking the spiritual medicine.

"If I add their horns, I can exchange them for you with two packs of salt."

The old hunter looked regretful: "There are only eight diagonals."

It's better than nothing, Lin Lang said: "Can you let me see. Sheep horns, I use them for pharmaceuticals. If they are rotten, I don't want them."

The old hunter carefully placed the salt bag on the ground, walked quickly to the village, and entered a wooden house.

The other hunters looked at the salt bag on the ground with a little eager eyes.

Lin Lang smiled and said, "You can also try it. If you think it's good, you can exchange it with other mountain goods. As long as I need it, you can exchange it. You can also exchange it for other things."

Another hunter saluted him slightly, picked up the salt bag and poured out a small pinch, stuck it with his fingers and put it in his mouth. His face immediately wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, but his eyes were filled with surprise and smiles.

He handed the salt in his palm to other companions, but the circle of people frowned and cheered.

"Customers wait, we will go back and find out what we can trade." The hunter did not invite him to the village because there were a lot of things on the ground.

It looked good, and they didn't dare to say that they could help move, so as not to misunderstand this customer...

Soon, each of the small village almost emptied its own houses.

As hunters, most families in this village live by collecting wild vegetables or meat obtained from hunting.

However, hunting is also seasonal and dangerous.

Meat is usually eaten at home, and leather is made into clothing. However, leather is durable, so the only thing they can trade is probably leather.

There are many leathers, but Lin Lang actually doesn't need them much. He only has fur. If it can only be used for leather making, there are too many.

In the illusion, there are a lot of leather produced. There are also many procurement systems of Lingyoujie and Linlang Department Store.

In the magic world, he also had many agents who bought leather for him.

Life in this village seems to be quite poor. There are not many families who can get fur. Most of them are leather. Lin Lang probably can only use such leather to make furniture or leather goods.

He looked at the expectant eyes of men, women, young and old, and smiled bitterly in his heart, saying to the old hunter who was taking out the Hanshan Skewers trade: "I usually don't need to go into the mountains. On weekdays, the family members do this. It's a fate to meet your village today. I have collected all the things you took out. You can also give a little profit."

“What does the guest mean?”

"I can change more for you."

The hunters were overjoyed and thanked them quickly.

They are in the mountains and have too few opportunities to exchange good things. And they are at the bottom of the ‘food chain’ and have almost no pricing power. Although things are not easy to rot when they are left, if they are not replaced, some essential items such as salt will not be present.

So it is usually severely exploited in price.

Lin Lang said that they could change more, and they couldn't stop being excited.

Lin Lang also did what he said. No matter what they wanted to change, they didn't care too much about it.

They gave a lot more things than they used to trade with outsiders.

However, Lin Lang didn't receive much. After all, this was just a small village of more than a dozen families.

He has too many good things, and the hunters can take out too few things to trade, so what to exchange for will make the hunters hesitate for a long time.

Lin Lang also has time to communicate with them.

"On weekdays, family members come to the mountain to receive goods. A few days ago, someone told me that they are low on goods, but they quoted me a high price. Then I went to the mountain to see the situation myself."

Lin Lang talked about a reason and asked the hunters about the price they traded in the past.

The price quoted by hunters is of course very low.

Lin Lang would not evaluate the costs of those consignees according to the prices they quoted. After all, entering the mountain is dangerous, and there are various costs along the way.

But these are all calculated.

The old hunter also mentioned a situation to him: "Usually, we take ourselves out of the mountains and go to the market to exchange things. Although we only change a little more, we can choose more things."

Lin Lang asked: "How long do you have to go out of the mountain to get to the market."

"If the weather is good, you have to walk for a day and a night."

Lin Lang understood.

This should not be an exception. The entire market environment should be like this. So, the cost of those who collect mountain goods is true.

If you say that the risk is mainly in the mountains. You may encounter robbery or monsters. If the mountain people take the initiative to bring things out, the risk of the consignee will be reduced by at least 70%.

As for those who are willing to go to the mountains to acquire, there are probably only those small vendors with low competitiveness. They can’t receive much goods.

The main mountain goods should have been taken over by those big merchants.

One of Lin Lang’s requirements for his agent is that he must be strong enough.

That can only be chosen among the big businessmen.

Before, he thought about choosing only one.

But now it seems that you have to choose a few more. Let them compete with each other.

Of course, this issue needs to be considered thoroughly.

If only one is chosen, the agent monopolizes the market and will definitely lower the cost. Then the income of these mountain people will decrease and their enthusiasm will also decrease.

If you choose more, you may also join forces to control the market.

But Lin Lang also has a way to avoid this situation. He can exchange it with them without cash transactions, but instead use earth products.

Each agent trades different goods. In order to get enough earth products, they will definitely compete with each other. If you raise prices to buy mountain goods, the people in the mountains will definitely be more proactive when it comes to profitability.

If this does not completely eliminate the market control. Lin Lang can also have greater operability.

Lin Lang was trading with the hunters, and suddenly a wild beast cries came from afar, as if it was still far away.
